Opinion poll for Airline of the Year award launched

The Bangladesh Monitor, a fortnightly magazine on travel and tourism, yesterday launched the seventh edition of a poll to recognise 2015's best performing airlines in the country.

Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel will be the hospitality partner for the opinion poll and Eastern Bank will be the banking partner, the magazine said in a statement.

The main objective of the poll is to inject competitiveness among the airlines operating in Bangladesh, Kazi Wahidul Alam, editor of the magazine, said in a press meet at the hotel. The airlines will be judged on their services in 13 categories to pick the airline of the year, domestic airline of the year and cargo airline of the year.

Frequent flyers may give their opinion in favour of their preferred airlines either by filling out a prescribed polling form or logging in at www.bangladeshmonitor.net/poll2015.

Last date for opinion submission is April 15, and the winners will be announced in May, according to the statement.
